“Please bring back the veggie chicken patties!!!!! Please I beg you!!!” one shopper wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter).

In response, Aldi had some bad news.

“Unfortunately, they've been discontinued! We hope we can have something similar someday,” the retailer replied.

The customer’s response was a heartfelt “NOOOOOOOOOOOIO.”

Other shoppers have also given the product considerable praise, making the discontinuation even more shocking.

One shopper called the item “so good” on Reddit.

“They're worth trying! They don't 100% taste like chicken, but the patties were nice and firm, had good texture when bitten into and were great on a sandwich with fixings,” they said.

Another fan wrote: “They're good. I'll pop them in the toaster until they crisp, then make a grilled sandwich with the chickenless patty, mild cheddar, dill relish, yellow mustard on whole wheat bread.”

MORE DISCONTINUED ITEMS

This isn’t the first time Aldi’s been called out by shoppers for an unpopular product discontinuation.

The chain also removed its specialty Croissant Buns earlier this year.

The buns were a tasty addition to any lunch or breakfast sandwich, and many shoppers enjoyed making ham or egg and cheese sandwiches with them.

“It's been months without them, and we're beginning to think they're gone for good. Please tell me they will return to our store shelves,” one fan wrote on Twitter after noticing the item missing.

In response, Aldi said:

“The croissant buns were an ALDI Find item. At this time, we have no return date to share.”

This was after Aldi had already discontinued its Bake House Salted Caramel chocolate chips cookies, which also left shoppers disappointed and upset.

However, there has been some good news for shoppers.

The retailer brought back a popular pizza that shoppers had been asking to see again for months.

The Mama Cozzi breakfast pizza returned this season as a take and bake sausage and cheese-filled entree.

Each pizza included eggs, sausage, and a biscuit crust, making it a solid option for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Kroger also discontinued a beloved ice cream flavor.
